Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado

It’s almost Friday which means another week has come and gone. This week was crazy as I performed in in MS, KS, NE and CO. Yesterday was especially tough as I had 3 shows in Nebraska before driving all the way to Denver. It’s really interesting to note the difference in schools when you go from a rural area to a city. The first few days were in, for a lack of a better term, the middle of no where. My wife and I have been watching Smallville lately and we were just waiting to bump into Clark Kent as we went into these very small towns to perform. They were a lot of fun and we really enjoyed being there, but man they were small. Most of the schools this week were k-12 assemblies, which can be some of the toughest shows to do. It’s hard to deliver a program that can entertain a 12th grader and still be interesting to a Kindergarten student. Well, I need to get some sleep, It’s approaching midnight and I have an 8 AM show tomorrow morning.

We are a pre-K through 5 elementary school with approximately 550 students. Recently our school has focused on promoting heart healthy life-long lifestyles and with Peter, the Jump Rope Master, we have been able to integrate this program into our heart healthy focus. This program does focus and promote a lifelong style of exercise and there are lots of strong points in his presentation. First of all, he supports and believes in audience participation and many students were able to participate. It is motivational and inspirational as Peter assures each child that he or she can be a champion and do something in life. Also, he explains about research that shows that not enough children get enough exercise everyday. He teaches that we each need to get one hour of exercise each day and talks about the different ways that can be done. Also, another thing that I really liked about this program is that he included some very specific vocabulary and even math building skills. Imagine about teaching about 360 or 390 degree angle with jump ropes among many other things that he teaches. So I recommend this program and think that you'll enjoy it as much as our students.
